I have just been playing around with Google Trends by submitting four keywords to be inquired by the service. The keywords were: “internet marketing”, “search engine optimization”, “money online”, and “make money online”. Here was the graph snapshot (taken on October 1st, 2008):

Using the graph above, we can see that assuming the “internet marketing” keyword search is scaled to be 1, then the result for “search engine optimization” keyword searching is 0.50 (or half) of “internet marketing” keyword searching, and so on.
“Money online” keyword searching turned out to be the most searched keyword among the four (1.86). By studying the graph, it is shown that “money online” keyword searching is steadily increasing year by year.
Do you want to know the surprising facts (or may be not that surprisingly:P)? Check the following series of graphs:
Indonesia is in top 3 based on regions. I don’t want to generalize or deduce something, but I only want to point out that there are 5 Asian countries in the list.
Jakarta is in top 3 based on cities. Five cities are in United States of America (USA).

So, we can see that many searches were generated from Indonesia, specifically Indonesian-speaking Internet users. I can only say that if you want to focus on internet marketing, search engine optimization, or making money online website, then you might want to consider publishing them in one or more language (s) shown in the graph.
Does anyone have interests to make comparison of other keywords? Such as, “movie, lyric, game, and mobile phone”, “car, vacation, house, education”, “insurance, financial planning, bank, stocks”, “Naruto Uzumaki , Sasuke Uchiha, Kakashi Sensei, Sakura Haruno”, or “Tukul Arwana, Komeng, Jojon”. It’s up to you.
